You do build your own computers, right?

Only when its obviously better to do it that way Sometimes you will find a place which will assemble and test a PC from provided specs that only charge for the parts. If someone else will assemble and test a PC for me then I am happy to let them, I do not see assembling PCs as particularly "fun".

I also worked with audio and sound equipment at one stage and have when necessary built PA systems graphic equalizers etc from scratch but when I wanted a guitar amp I went out and picked up a Peavey.

Just saying I see building your own head-tracker as more an enthusiast thing a bit like the guys spending their weekends putting custom exhausts and fancy wheels and a custom stereo in their car or the overclocking types that put their PC system specs in their forum signature.

The real point is that regardless of using freetrack, or trackIR or having an elephant watch your head movements and move the mouse with its trunk ... some form of head tracking is almost as important as a good joystick.
